Dude, I'm talking about keeping only few icons on the desktop itself, with the rest in the programs in the Start menu. As there're only few icons, there's no trouble finding what you need, therefore it's uncluttered. If you saw a desktop of my girlfriend, for example, you would see a difference

And btw., nothing against your desktop ianfreddie07, was just a statement for my own desktop.

Sorry, but "only" a few icons?
Than what is my desktop - minimalistic?

[Scatty]

Unused :P

As many icons as necessary for using the Start Menu not being necessary except one-timers. But organized: left, direct access to disc locations; right, programs; right first row, utilities; second row, virtualization; third row, Internet; fourth and fifth rows, administration. Plus quicklaunch.



I don't get the point in having an uncluttered desktop... It's so you can use the 1280x1024 pixels to show your pretty wallpaper instead of making programs accessible? :bleh:

Nah, I prefer everything sorted. There are only two folders on the desktop (mine and Rainwife's) and there's a fast click icon to all the programs I commonly use. There are many things there...

And as for seeing the picture... since the screen on my monitor is one of the fist things you'll notice when you walk into our place it actually does have an aesthetic value (beside the functional one).

Heh, Japonfran, you have no idea how much crap is on my desktop, it's not user friendly

I'll get around to clearing it soon...

[_r.u.s.s.]

japorfan is kinda right, but of course some people just have random mess on their desktops

btw, lulu, i know what is the "crap" on your desktop i know there are plenty pictures of yourself in a full size for me

Well I guess I fell into the trap of confusing the "uncluttered" and "nake" terms. So my other point would be that you can have many icons and still it's not cluttered. Anyway cluttered desktops are the result of countless automatic installations, there are people who just don't want to bother with their computers like we geeks, and that's understandable. That's what God made user accounts for, so the people you share your computer with don't drive you nuts. :P
